Let me out

The rainbow of my soul

The world seems to be in an icy embrace.

I've been sitting alone in the dark,

Curled up in a ball

Listening to the rain quenching the earth's thirst.

The darkness is engulfing

I miss myself.

I miss my "I am"

I must have lost her somewhere between here and there.

You know.

There between the ups and downs of the straight and narrow.

Maybe its time to go back and move forward into the oxymoron of life.

A world of constant false hopes and dreams

A contradiction of right and wrong,

Like a sad face during a happy song.

A silent world where no one shuts up,

I feel like I'm writing a test with an empty pen.

It's all so confusing,

Can you be a rainbow in a colourless place?

Or should you conform and just pick a side.

I want to let my rainbow out

But people seem to only see the colour they want to see.

I am so much more than that

I want to be free

Free from the black and white

I want to stand out in the rain and let it experience all of my uniqueness

All alone I stand in this crowed place

I'm screaming at the top of my voice

And no sound comes out

My voice box seems to be oblivious to my repeated attempts to scream

It's suffocating

Why doesn't anyone just look up

Just see me

I am beautiful

In my own way

And so are you
